Where are we headed NEXT? Evan Cadoff, MD ...Gene Martin, PhD … Gratian Salaru, MD
Agenda • Background • Failure to return (2005) • Missed Opportunities – AHI in NJ • NAAT data (2012) • Category C Outcomes • Expansion of RTA sites in NJ • Training in RTA • 4th Generation Lab-based Testing • Transition to 4th Generation POC Testing • Current limitations on 4th Gen POC Testing • Master plan (2014-2015) • Build out of 4th Gen. POC • Collaboration to facilitate linkage (Orthogonal confirmation of 4th Gen. Lab-based Positives) • Validation of iSTOC – is there a way to objectively read rapid tests
Screening for HIV in NJ • Traditional: • EIA or IF confirmed by traditional methods: HIV Western blot, IFA or Aptima • Rapid Testing Options: • Rapid HIV Screen confirmed by traditional methods (Western blot, IFA) • Rapid HIV Screen confirmed by an orthogonal rapid tests • “Rapid-Rapid” Model • ClearviewStatPak confirmed by Trinity Unigold • “Rapid-2-Rapid” Model • ClearviewStatPak is performed at Site #1 • Transportation of Client to Site #2 (Typically a medical care entity) • Patient Navigator at Site #2 performs second orthogonal rapid • If HIV POS Laboratory Intake • Rapid Screen Alone – Rare in NJ

NAAT Testing of 2nd gen. Rapid HIV Negative Individuals • When compared against current rapid HIV tests, NAAT tells us we’re missing between 6-8% of those infected when we screen for antibodies using one of the traditional rapid HIV tests • Those with the highest risk of infecting others are the ones that are being missed!! • The same issues with patient return and process completion occur with NAAT that occur with traditional testing!!! • Solution: A test that picks up p24 Ag COULD identify a substantial proportion of the same population. A POCT device could increase the pickup without losing the ability to link patients to care. E.G. Martin et al. / Journal of Clinical Virology 58S (2013) e24–e28

Acute HIV Infection and Assay Sensitivity Acute HIV Infection
AHI – Acute HIV Infection • SYMPTOMS - ACUTE HIV INFECTION • Rash &/or fever(s), possibly in combination with: • Malaise • Loss of Appetite • Weight loss • Sore Throat • Mouth Sores • Joint Pain • Muscle Pain • Swollen lymph nodes • Diarrhea • Fatigue • Night sweats • Nausea/vomiting • Headache • Genital Sores • Because individuals with AHI are highly infectious, have engaged in high risk behaviors, and are often unaware of their status they contribute substantially to the spread of HIV. • Although the duration of AHI is short (typically 3-4 weeks), studies have consistently shown that ~ 50% of new HIV transmissions are caused by onward transmission within the first six months from an individual with AHI. • 40-90% develop symptoms of Acute HIV • 50%-90% who have symptoms seek medical care • Of those diagnosed with Acute HIV, 50% of patients seen at least 3 times before they are diagnosed • LINKAGE AND TREATMENT OPPORTUNITY!
Why is this Important? 5 Risk of Transmission Male to Female - Blue Reflects Genital Viral Burden – Yellow Effect of ART – Theoretical - Red (1/30-1/200) HIV RNA in Semen (Log10 copies/ml) 4 (1/100- 1/1000) 3 (1/500 - 1/2000) (1/1000 – 1/10,000) 2 Acute Infection Asymptomatic Infection HIV Progression AIDS Cohen and Pilcher, JID 191:1391, 2005
4th Gen. Assays:Sensitivity vs. Lost to Linkage Point of Care - Based Laboratory - Based
The Upside of Lab-based 4th Gen. HIV Tests • Substantially more sensitive than 3rd Gen. HIV assays, earlier generation rapid HIV tests, and confirmatory assays • Somewhat more sensitive than POC-based 4th Gen. rapid HIV assay (Alere Determine Combo assay) • They identify a significant proportion of acutely infected individuals (~90%) • May be used in the diagnosis of HIV-1/HIV-2 infection in pediatric subjects (i.e., children as young as 2) and in pregnant woman • Permit the identification of established HIV infections without the need to send-out for additional testing
The Downside of Lab-based 4th Gen. HIV Assays: • Less sensitive than NAAT tests – (individual or pooled); therefore MISSING some cases of AHI. • Although the manufacturer claims it is ~ 35 minutes to an initial result, the reality is that in many laboratories the average time to an initial single result is much longer. • Unfortunately, both FDA-approved lab-based assays report a single combined specimen result, so neither can differentiate initially between recent and established HIV infections. • When used in conjunction with the new confirmatory algorithm they provide identification of individuals who have HIV antibodies, but require an additional NAAT test to ‘rule in’ AHI. • As of today, the only available 4th gen. test that can on a preliminary basis identify recent infection is the standalone rapid test: The Determine Combo.

4th Gen. Point –of-Care HIV Screening • Tests for the simultaneous and separate qualitative detection of free HIV-1 p24 antigen and antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2. • It is intended for use as a point-of-care test to aid in the diagnosis of infection with HIV-1 and HIV-2, including an acute HIV-1 infection, and may distinguish acute HIV-1 infection from established HIV-1 infectionwhen the specimen is positive for HIV-1 p24 antigen and negative for anti-HIV-1 and anti-HIV-2 antibodies.

Summary • Order of sensitivity to acute HIV infection: • Individual NAAT – Aptima> Pooled NAAT >4th Gen. Tests • Lab-based 4th Gen: Architect/Biorad >POCT–based 4th Gen: Determine Combo • More than half of HIV transmission is thought to occur during the earliest phase of infection • Weighing the potential benefit of slightly improved sensitivity versus the immediacy of the result is a decision that needs to be driven by a careful assessment of the circumstances involved in particular screening programs!
Rapid-Rapid Site Surveys • GOAL: Simplify the process. Maximize linkage and re-engagement. • More clients complete testing and are linked to care on the same day using an RTA. • Average time to lab intake for HIV+ positives is < 2 business days
Summary of 4th Gen. Lab-based HIV Testing • NJ Hospitals have been slow to adopt 4th Gen. HIV • Category C project encouraged the transition by supporting ED testing in 2013: • St. Joseph’s Medical Center (89% complete) • Contract: 2000 tests • To Date: 1782 tests, 7 Positives • 0 AHI, 7 Established Infections, Several FP Architects • Our Lady of Lourdes (80% complete) • Renewed Contract: 3600 tests • To Date: 2881 tests, 18 Positives • 3 AHI, 9 Established Infections, 3 FP Architect, 3 FP StatPak • Jersey Shore Univ. Medical Center (30%) • Contract: 2400 • To Date: 70 tests, 2 Positive • 0 AHI
Lay the Groundwork for Expanded Use of Orthogonal Testing: • Increase RTA availability in NJ: • Added 11 facilities including 8 hospitals and 1 multi-facility FQHC • Currently RTA testing exceeds 48,000 tests per year at rapid-rapid facilities • Expand the program to include additional ‘Rapid-2-Rapid’ screening ONLY sites • Reduces QC costs at sites with relatively few positives • Recruit Mod. Complex. Facilities to implement 4th gen. POC testing • 3 hospitals have agreed • 2 additional facilities have agreed • 1 site begun – RWJMS • Question: How to integrate 4th gen. POC and lab-based? • Consider using Determine Combo as an orthogonal confirmation expediting identification of AHI at hospitals
